My wife and I were there, I think 3 years ago. There's quite a little
Twain-related industry going, including the House and the Museum. On your
visit You can also see a former Blankenship residence, and (by appointment)
"Jim's Journey" which is an exhibition focused on the enslaved residents of
Hannibal in Clemens' time.
